A colored woman near Tallahassee, gave
| birth to child lastweek that completely lays
the Samese twins and Milly Christine in the
shade. 1t has four well developed and
natural arms, hands, legs and feet each,
and two bodies up to point just above the
| and only one head caps the double
body. The face, nose, mouth, eyes and ears
are natural, but the head is rather large
and ill-proportioned. At the back of the
head is what appears to be slightformation
of two ears running into one. The child
only lived a short time. DR.. r. G. Gamble,
the attending physician, got permission to
preserve the body in alcohol, and he now
has it in his Office inclosed in glass jar.
| Monticello Constitution: 1t is conceded
that from 600 to 1000 pounds of mer-
charitable tobacco per acre can be grown IN
jefferson county-in fact, Mr.. Bruce, on
| Mr.. Kidneys farm in this county, realized
! the past season from five acres Of land 6,0OO
pounds of tobacco. This tobacco, if placed
| upon the market, will command from 81 300
to 81, S00-from $500 to $3.50 per acre The
|
would probably not yield exceeding 80
pounds of lint cotton, $50 pounds to the
acre, and if it should bring Sc. per pound
| the sum total realized from the five acres
would be 800. 1t requires not exceeding
six months labor and attention 90 cultivate
and prepare the tobacco for market. 1t re-
quires ten months of the twelve to cult
vate, pick, gin and market the cotton.
A mule ran away at Tallahassee Wednes-
day afternoon, going down the steep hill on
Clinton street, and dumped wagon load of
negroes into the street near the crossing
boulevard, in front of the residence of Henry
| Benreuter The owner of the team, Richard
| Hudnall, colored farmer from Gadsden
county, had his neck broken and died in
stantly His sister and a nephew were
badly bruised and cut about the face,
but not seriously. Another occupant
of the wagon jumped out unhurt. The
team got away and went on at lightning
speed toward their home near Midway.
The accident it is said, was the result of
too much bad whisky Hudnall, it is stated,
had imbibed pretty freely and all started
out of town in high glee. The team was
finally captured, the wagon mended up, the
body of the dead man placed in it after the
inquest and the survivors drove sorrowfully
| homeward.
A young man named Sears, claiming to
be representing Finlay & Brunswick, drug
| gistS, OF New Orleans, La, arrived in Pen
sacola few days ago, and set about drum
ming the town for orders. He sold w. A.
D'Alemberte handsome bill, made a con-
tract to advertise a speciality in the DAILY
| Commercial, and then asked Mr. D'Alem-
berte to walk as far as the bank with him,
as he wanted a little money and would have
to be identified before he could cash a draft
Mr. D'Alemberte told the fellow that
| hn al n Tod
with him, he must decline 60
! be party to the Identification,
and Sears took his leave not altogether
pleased From D'Alemberte's, Sears went
to II. c. Cushman and tried the same
game. Mr. Cushnan was equally imper-
vious and Sears left the city. Subsequent
ly Mr.. Cushman received communication
from Messrs. FinlaY a. Brunswick, who had
gotten wind OF Sears transactions else
where, informing him to beware of the fell
low, as he was a fraud Of the first water.
Sears has not been heard from since.
At the thirteenth regular meeting of the
Peniel Horticultural Society, few days
ago, the offices for the ensuing year were
duly filed as follows: President, DIR. Cyrus;
Vice-President, Parson Becks; Treasurer,
Parson Thomas; Recording Secretary,
Capt. r. r. Brakeman, and Corresponding
Secretary, Lewis Morris. Mr.. Leyvraz in
PRODUCED the subject of asparagus culture.
He thinks it would pay well in Florida, that
is, to cultivate it for the New York
market. He has known it to sell there
early in the spring from 81 80 to 81 IS
bunch. 1t is easy to cultivate, and once
put into the ground and properly cared for
will make full yields for thirty years or
more. After first setting out it's cultivation
requires very little more work than that of
corn. 1t is hearty feeder, however, and
needs good fertilization to produce the best
results, the largest shoots. The demand
during the early season of production pre-
vailing here in Florida has never
yet been fully supplied. 1t grows
very fast and yields enor-
mously, and continues regular supply
for space Of six to eight weeks. Frost,
even in the productive season, is of but little
detriment. 1t will begin TO yield the third
year from the seed and thereafter full an
nual crop, for almost a life time Mr.
Strange has seen it grow in Florida, and it
did well. Mr.. Brakeman knows of healthy
plants at home (OhioJ fifty years old, is
familiar with its culture, and thinks an acre
of ground could be made to produce annu-
ally $1,000 worth. Mr.. Leyvraz has
thrifty plant on his place ten years old
which has had no attention other than what
accident brought it. N'o En-
